Dear Diane and all,

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Although we never met him he must have been a wonderful man as he raised a fantastic daughter. We will keep you in our prayers. You all were missed this weekend.

Dear John & Family:
Our sincerest sympathies on the passing of your dad. I am sorry I cannot attend the wake tonight, but as you probably know, I am taking care of mom who had had her stroke 2 years ago January. She cannot be left alone, so, please accept my apologies. Joey and I are thinking about you and will keep him in our prayers. So glad you moved back home and were able to spend quality time with him.
